Honoring Saints Who've Walked Among Us

Make plans to stay after the 10:30 service on November 1 as we join with our Bolton Hill neighbors to honor and remember loved ones who have died through the beautiful traditions of Dia de los Muertos. An ofrenda (altar) will welcome their spirits with candles, marigolds, papel, and other traditional decorations.

At both services that day we will read the necrology of beloved friends and family members we've lost. Please let us know if you have a loved one you'd like to include on the list. Either email the office or click on the button below. If you know your loved one's name was read last year, there is no need to contact us.

😡 The scammers are at it again! 😡

Reverend Pan wil not write you to ask for some kind of cryptic help and then try to solicit gift cards and/or money. Most of you can smell a scam when it comes around, but the bad actors are always sending out more sophisticated ways to phish and reel you in. Never respond -- just hit delete. If it were really Reverend Pan, she would call you!

Submitting E-newsletter Announcements
